2 Weeks!

2 weeks old! I can hardly believe it! It seems like just yesterday I was feeling his little kicks inside of me! Here are a few fun facts about my man!

7 lbs 11 oz!

He loves:
The rock and play sleeper
Eating
Sleeping
Snuggling!!
Being swaddled
Looking at Mom and Dad

He hates:
Nudity
Being wet
Being hungry

He is starting to stretch and use his arms and legs a lot!

He is perfect! We are so glad he is our baby!

In love!

I have a confession to make! I am officially in love with two boys!
I feel luckier than the bachelorette!

The first week!

Time flies when you are feeding, changing, snuggling, breath smelling, and kissing your new baby! Seriously I cannot get enough of this kid!

Enjoy a summary of his first week of life!

Baby Brock is Here!!!!!

On March 15th at 11:55 pm our baby arrived! We are so in love with him!!!

I am pretty sure he is the cutest baby who was ever born!

Here is the birth story summary!

Wednesday March 14th-Water starts breaking at 11:30 am

Get admitted to the hospital about 5: 30 pm

Start the Cytotec: 7:00 pm another dose at 11:00 pm

Pitocin at 3:00 am and lots of fun contractions!

Epidural at 6:30 am

Contractions all day

6:30 am- 3 80%
8:00 am- 4 90%
12:00 pm- 5 90%
2:00 pm- 6 100%
4:00 pm- 8 100%
6:00 pm-10:00 pm 9 100%

10:30 pm: Worried that I have been at a 9 for 4 hours without progress.
I have a fever and they are worried about infection in me that will be transferred to Brock.

Brock's birth plan changes.

11:00 pm Tyler gets suited up for the C-Section. Lots of tears and prayers. Brandt and Alexis were there and Tyler and Brandt give me a blessing.

11:55 pm!!! BROCK IS BORN!!!!!

The nurse shows me a tiny little gooey baby! Tyler brings Brock over to my face! I give him kisses and tell him I love him. The Dr. unstrapped my hand so I could touch his face! He is beautiful!

Tyler takes Brock to get him a bath and some medicine. Brandt and Alexis stay with me in the recovery room.




2:00 am: We are all back together! I get to hold my baby for the first time! I am instantly in love! He is perfect!
I held Brock all through the night!
We are so grateful that after 20 fun hours of labor and a C-Section we are all back together!

Brock had a little IV in his head for a few days to get some antibiotics, but everything was fine! I know Heavenly Father was strengthening us during those scary moments! Tyler was amazing and helped me to be strong! I am also grateful for Brandt and Alexis for dropping everything and being with me.
It was the hardest, scariest, best day of my entire life!

40 Weeks

Just a few pics we snapped of me in my 40 week glory!

Almost fully cooked!

39 Weeks!!!!

Today is March 11! Yes my due date was March 10-this baby is in no hurry!
The last few weeks have been crazy! Last Sunday I was sure I was in labor. We headed to the hospital and no such luck. I was sure he would come sometime during last week.
On Tuesday I started having a bad tooth ache. I couldn't sleep and was in a lot of pain. On Thursday morning I went to the dentist and did what every 39 week and 5 day pregnant woman should do-have a root canal!!!!! Seriously! My dentist was so awesome, but he could see me having contractions whilst working on me. He kept asking how close they were, and if I was okay. I was pretty certain the dentist was going to deliver my baby-nope!
So I finished my work week and enjoyed my due date yesterday by cleaning, shopping and having dinner with our friends. I am still having lots of contractions and feel like I am getting closer! The Dr. will induce me on the 15th if I haven't had him by then! We are getting so anxious and excited to see him and hold him!
